Hi Chip. No issues with odor, to be honest the hatch stays open most of the time when at anchor. A friend visited from his T38 and commented how this was the way to go over his Lavac setup with its valves and piping, but i get the feeling heads are like anchors - we all have experiences of them not working. What did work very well is the gravity discharge from black tank. No pumps and minimum hose. Never had a burp, tank fills quickly with lots of non boating girls on board!
